I dont think I did anything wrong.

[mas713]

I feel like everyone judges me. Im 18, almost 19, and everyone just looks at me like I did something wrong. I bought all but a few outfits for my little girl. and Ive saved up over a grand so far and Im still working and just ending college. Im also 32 weeks pregnant and feeling like Im doing this all on my own. I want her more than anything, I just want everyone to quit looking down upon me for my choices, I dont feel like Ive done anything wrong. Does anyone else feel like that?

I was also a vegetarian and I switched to eating meat to make sure I got all the protein that I needed to keep her healthy. I maintained staying on the deans list as well. I tried my hardest, but everyones glaring eye feels like something Im doing is wrong.

People will always find a way to judge others, unfortunately.  I got judged for "marrying too young" and my cousin gets judged for "being too old without a husband". That's the way our society works. Just make sure you hold fast to friends and family that are supportive -- even if they don't necessarily agree with you.  Best of luck:)

Dont worry about what others say or the looks they give. Ill be 24 at the end of the month. And im currently 33 weeks. But i look like im 16-17 and ive heard enough of people comments that i just ignore them. Youre doing an amazing job :)

I was 18 when I got pregnant and 19 when I had my son. I worked at mcd's and had barley started taking college seriously. Now I'm 24 and I am pregnant with my second. I also got married very young too. But even today people look at me weird. Like I did I'm 24 but I pretty much look like I'm 16 or 17... Someone even asked me if my son was my little brother! You will get used to people looking... It'll never change... So just don't care. There's older parents who aren't good parents... So age should not be looked down on.

People so often forget the mistakes they have made. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and seem to be preparing to raise "your child" just know that some people may come from a place of disappointment while others may come from a place of fear. Raising a child at a young age, working full time,  and completing school can be ALOT!!! TRUST me I started around 20:) but I now have a handsome 4 yr old am a nurse and also am a homeowner :)) !!! Hard work pays off!! Don't let people get you down because you chose a different route for yourself than they wanted !!! Eat MEAT eat whatever makes that growing baby HAPPY !!!
Best wishes & continue doing you !!

Sound like super mom. Dont worry about others. Do everything on your own shows them how strong you are. Its your life anf yiu dont have to please anyone

[mas713]

thank you everyone and I am trying, I just dont like the glares. but the people glaring (I know them) have had kids amd went through hardships early on as well so they shouldnt be ones to judge and glare.

and autumnsexpecting, youre doing great, keep at it because itll get hard but you are doing great. along with everyone else.

People are just too judgmental. I'll be 22 in a few weeks & some people still look down on me for being so young. Dont pay any mind to ignorant people. Keep your head up momma

I was 19 turning 20 when i had my first son i felt bad because how ppl would look at me but after a while i got over it ur child is a blessing and ur doing all u can don't let nobody make u feel like ur wrong for that

[oct3014]

Sounds like everyone just wants you to fail and clearly you've proven then wrong. Your doing everything your suppose to do. You keep being strong and doing what's right for you and your child. All you need to do is call on God and everything will work out!!

[autumnsexpecting]

I know exactly how you feel. Im 16. I have always worked hard for my own things since I was 14 and everyone who knows im pregnant looks down on me. Telling me I can't do it. But yet im working going to school graduating ahead of my class and I have 3 grand saved for my baby so I don't need to depend on anyone till I start working again 6 or so months after the baby is born. Just ignore the ignorance of others and do what you gotta do for you and your baby (:
